G'day folks

[Wizofoz]

Hi there. I'm Wayne, from a tiny town in rural Victoria, Aust. We moved here, about 100km's West of Melbourne in the last qtr of '25, to sort of semi retire/pay out the mortgage.

I've been very interested in printing since I was first introduced to doing it 'properly' By Dr Les Wakeling, at one of his lectures.

I've had a Canon printer in the past (my first 'serious' printer) but more recently, since the Canon died, I have only used Epson. I had a P600, which I think I killed with 3rd party inks, Then bought a P700 to replace it. At that time I was dubious about the print quality of the ever so more economical ET8550, but I've since become a convert, and bought one so I can play/learn a lot more without wincing at the thought of the cost of ink I was using/wasting.

I'm a big fan of Qimge Ultimate, and have recently been playing with Mike Cheney's other gift to humanity, Print Prism.

I'm looking forward to share what little I know, and learn from print masters

Cheers!

Hi Wayne - Richard here - welcome. I hail from about 100km NW of Melbourne so thought I'd say g'day - like you I'm an impressed PrintPrism user - very impressed by it. I trust you're using the new slice he released yesterday? I had my doubts at first but it works far better than I'd ever imagined. Canon printers in my world using TurboPrint print drivers. Anyway - cheers & welcome!

Cooeee Richard, thanks for replying.

I'm trying to figure out what town is 100 k's' NW of Melbourne. somewhere around Bendigo?

Yes, I D/L the newest version of print prism yesterday, but yet to install it. I asked Mike a question 'do I need to reprint all the targets I've made with previous versions', still waiting for an answer.

I wont have a chance to use the new version for a week or more, as we are on a plane to the 'land of the long white cloud' in the morning. Hopefully I will have some images that deserve printing on our return.
